More quotes by Alan Watts
You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float. And this is exactly the situation of faith.
Alan Watts
A philosopher is a sort of intellectual yokel who gawks at things that sensible people take for granted.
Alan Watts
Sex is no longer a serious taboo. Teenagers sometimes know more about it than adults.
Alan Watts
Everything in the world is gloriously meaningless.
Alan Watts
...for since there is no real 'way' to sartori, the way you are following makes very little difference.
Alan Watts
In a certain sense, Zen is feeling life instead of feeling something about life.
Alan Watts
No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.
Alan Watts
By going out of your mind, you come to your senses
Alan Watts

Alan Watts
The future is a concept, it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That's one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.
Alan Watts
To remain caught up in ideas and words about Zen is, as the old masters say, to stink of Zen.
Alan Watts
When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique.
Alan Watts
So many people of wealth understand much more about making and saving money than about using and enjoying it. They fail to live because they are always preparing to live.
Alan Watts
If you are ready to wake up, you are going to wake up. If you're not you are going to stay pretending that you are just a poor little me.
Alan Watts
Chaos is always losing, but never defeated
Alan Watts
Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had.
Alan Watts
At times almost all of us envy the animals. They suffer and die, but do not seem to make a problem of it.
Alan Watts
It is hard indeed to notice anything for which the languages available to us have no description.
Alan Watts
Many people think that the Bible is the authentic word of God and they worship the Bible, making it an idol.
Alan Watts
But to me nothing - the negative, the empty - is exceedingly powerful.
Alan Watts
